Jim Smith 2,339 Posted December 1, 2021 I suppose we had a Norwich supporting presenter to be fair but then they even managed to find a geordie ref to form part of the team! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston 56 Posted December 1, 2021 Had no problem at all with the commentary . Rightly slaughtered Clarke and although clearly magcentric thought he gave us a fair hearing . Also said he was disappointed at our performance (as we all were) because he had been impressed with our recent form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No it's not, but it's not worth arguing over. It was ungraceful. I apologise for that. A heat of the moment reaction. Please forgive me. OTBC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,322 Posted December 1, 2021 I thought he was very honest and only commented on our lack of performance where it was utterly slow and clueless. Of course he’s Newcastle through and through, had Holty been commenting I’m sure he’d refer to Norwich as his team the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,167 Posted December 1, 2021 What amused me about Shearer was that after we scored he went very quiet for quite a long time. To be fair last year we saw many TV games with local commentators hone and away, and they were generally much better in all respects than Shearer, who never said anything that wasn’t obvious to anyone watching and was cringingly biased towards Newcastle.

Why do you two continuously follow @FenwayFrank around and make stupid snide comments on everything and anything he posts? Who cares about his spelling of a referee surname that was probably due to autocorrect? Most people seem to let it pass without comment but its really coming across like primary-school level bullying. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KernowCanary 214 Posted December 2, 2021 Most biased commentary I heard was in 1995 when Man United scored a goal against Bolton, who were struggling and bottom of the league, yet the Sky commentator went on as if they were scoring against someone fantastic. It just went “Beautiful!, beautiful!, beautiful!”, over and over while the passing was being done, only to tell it really loud over and over than previously when the goal was scored. It made me try to convince the family to cancel the Sky subscription once and for all, only to get rid of it because dad couldn’t afford the increase. Although Amazon comes close for being almost as bad, it’s not at the stage I want to get rid as of yet. You’re supposed to be neutral as a commentator, that remark on Prime last night was unprofessional, but that fanboy effort from Sky back in 1995 was just beyond.

The Raptor 1,238 Posted December 2, 2021 I enjoyed the commentary. It was funny to hear shearer getting annoyed with how bad his team was. He was honest about Norwich too. We we poor and should've taken more advantage of the sending off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highland Canary 76 Posted December 2, 2021 The commentary is irrelevant. It was an exceptionally poor performance from Norwich even measured by our low standards of this year. We deserve to finish 20th if a scraped 1-1 draw is all we could achieve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want biased listen to Robbie Savage during any Man U game on BTSport- dreadful. Yeah, I thought Shearer was pretty fair and hid his bias well until they were winning when he definitely let his guard slip a bit, but for the most part he was pretty good at keeping neutral Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will - I may have misread the situation - it's just the last 3 topics i've seen FF post on has had you / til / both dive straight in with unnecessary sarcasm etc - if i've missed him doing the same then fair enough and it's fair game at that point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBF, I see things the way Hogesar does. It seems like whenever Frank makes a post one of you immediately replies about how funny he isn’t and then the other chimes in. As Hoggy said, it’s like playground bullying and is unpleasant to see. I don’t know the background but I would have thought Frank would be within his rights to report you to SDP. You’ve made your point, it’s clearly been seen by all of us so maybe give it a rest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FF is quite capable of reporting anything as he wishes I'm sure. And SDP also moderates the board, so if anyone oversteps the boundaries I'm sure he would step in, as he saw fit.
